Patent GB-190608391-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and applicable to Jacquards
Inventor: WILFORD GEORGE FREDERICK
Filed: 1906-04-07
Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 8391. Wilford, G. F. April 7. Jacquards. - Relates to a fast - running spring - dropper jacquard, in which the droppers are prevented from moving in the course of a selection higher than is necessary and can be positively returned to the lowest position prior to the next selection. Each dropper a, Fig. 3, has a slot, recess, or pin f, by means of which the cross. bars g of a movable frame can restrict the movements. The droppers are selected from their lowest position while the frame is in the highest position, and they cannot therefore be raised by accident or otherwise higher than a certain amount. After the selected droppers have been liberated, the frame descends, taking with it by means of the cross-bars g any droppers that have not already fallen, and at the same time preventing any droppers from rebounding. To allow the replacement of broken droppers &c., the cross-bars g, Fig. 1, are shouldered to fit grooves in a horizontally-sliding carrying-bar h, being held by clips and screws to facilitate removal. In a modification, the wedge-shaped ends of the bars g, Fig. 6, are held in the bar h by small clips k. For compactness, the cross-bars can be cast in leads like the combs &c. of lace machines. Where the invention is applied to existing jacquards, the top shoulder of the recess f would be bevelled off as shown, to prevent the droppers from resting on the upper sley after being liberated.

Title: Improvements relating to the Treatment of Iron or Steel for Preventing Oxidation or Rusting.
Inventor: COSLETT THOMAS WATTS
IPC: C23C22/08
Filed: 1906-04-10
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 8667. Coslett, T. W. April 10. Preservative compositions. - Oxidation of iron and steel surfaces is prevented by a coating of iron phosphate applied by immersion in, or by the action of, dilute phosphoric acid. The chemical action may be regulated by the use of iron filings, ferrous phosphate, or other substance. The bath may consist of iron filings 1 oz., phosphoric acid 4 fluid oz., and water 160 fluid oz., and the immersion may be continued at the boiling-point till six-sevenths has evaporated. Excess coating may be removed by treatment with cold water. The articles in the bath may be enclosed by a muslin or other screen and may be rotated.
Patent GB-190612462-A (GB)
Title: Slack Adjuster for Railway and like Vehicle Brakes.
Inventor: ANDERSON CHARLES OSCAR
Filed: 1906-05-29
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 12,462. Anderson, C. O., and Austin, A. T. May 29. Brakes.-In a device for automatically taking up slack in brake rigging due to wear, there is provided an adjusting-lever which is operated only upon an abnormal movement of the main lever, and the maximum movement which the main lever can make without actuating the adjusting-lever can be varied. The main lever 11, which can be operated through a rod 12, is pivoted at 14 to an internally threaded rod 15. A right and left handed screw 16 screws into this rod and into a socket 17 pivoted to a lever 18, which is suspended from the vehicle underframe 10 and has a connexion 19 with one of the brake beams. The lever 11 is connected by a pin 22 to a lever 20, suspended from a bracket 10<a> on the underframe and having a connexion 21 with the other brake beam. On the lever 11 being moved into the position shown by dotted lines, the levers 18, 20 are swung apart and the brakes applied, and, when the rigging is taut, the pin 22 moves in a loop 29<a> on the adjusting bell-crank lever 27 without moving it. But when, due to wear, it becomes necessary to throw the lever 11 farther over to apply the brakes, the pin 22 engages an adjusting-screw 30 and rocks the lever 27 about the pivot 14. A spring-controlled pawl 28 is thus carried over a tooth of a ratchet 26 on a sleeve 24, so that, when the brakes are released, the sleeve 4 is rotated and, by means of an angular portion 23 on the screw 16, rotates this screw to move the members 15, 17 farther apart and so compensates for the wear.

The detonator 7 is carried separately and is not attached to the cap 8 until required for use. A weight 14, or wings, may be provided to guide the detonator during flight; and a hook 15 enables the grenade to be carried on a belt.

At the front end, the arch is formed with an extension A<111> to deflect the air downwardly towards the fuel. The transverse arch B depends vertically from the crown and its upper edge is notched so as to reduce the area of contact between the arch and the crown, and to provide projections B", Fig. 3, which may be readily cut to the desired shape. Air is supplied through openings b<11> to the passages b<1> in the arch, and escapes through apertures b<111>. The area of the passage C between the arches is substantially the same as the sum of the areas of the smoke tubes 3. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the passage C is reduced in size and the vertical partition B is divided as shown so as to provide a second passage C'.
